Теріофауна Лисої гори в Києві: ознаки збереженості та рівні синантропізації

Abstract

The article describes the mammal fauna of Lysa Hora, one of the key natural sites of Kyiv within the Kyiv Plateau. The analysis of various sources (original data, literature, collections, and social networks) shows the presence of 24 species of 11 families of 6 orders, including 5 species from 3 families of insectivorans, 6 species from 1 family of bats, 1 species of hares, 7 species from 3 families of rodents, 4 species from 2 families of carnivorans, and 1 species of ungulates. The ratio of alien and domestic species is high (21%), but the proportion of species with conservation statuses is also high (50%). The most valuable component of the rare fauna is bats associated with tree stands and fortifications. In general, despite significant anthropogenic changes, the local mammal fauna, combined with other animal groups and flora, makes Lysa Hora one of the most valuable natural sites in Kyiv. The conservation of the fauna of Lysa Hora requires a number of restrictions on anthropogenic activities, including a ban on any forestry activities, restrictions on recreational press, which is provided for by the current zoning of the site and which should be enshrined in the Regulations on the Lysa Hora Regional Landscape Park and the Project for the organisation of its territory.
